Added 2024-04-10 19:34:34 +0000 UTC
It's time for an Extra History Bonus Vote and we want to know which short you'd like to see next.
These three topics were selected from Rob's secret list of awesome history subjects he's wanted to talk about and are listed in no particular order below.
Worst Dads in History: Stalin
When your son survives a suicide attempt, your reaction should not be: “He can’t even shoot straight.”
Royal Wedding Disasters: King George IV
It’s not a great omen when the groom gets so drunk he has to be held up during the ceremony, and audibly sobs during his vows.
Godzilla King of Metaphors
Most people know Godzilla was a metaphorical treatment of the atomic bombing of Japan, but many don’t realize how far that symbolism went.
***Friendly reminder: The poll will end at 11:59 PM PT on Wednesday the 17th. You can vote for as many choices as you want! This style of voting helps us see what people are most interested in without having to make tough decisions between a couple of close favorites. **

The Rogue Chief
2024-04-10 23:49:32 +0000 UTCNot to be "that guy", but I'm pretty sure I knew about the "Godzilla/A-bomb" connection. But look forward to seeing it explored in more detail.
